New Testament

Revelation 21

1Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.

και ειδον ουρανον καινον και γην καινην· ο γαρ πρωτος ουρανος και η πρωτη γη απηλθον, και η θαλασσα ουκ εστιν ετι.

2Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

και την πολιν την αγιαν ιερουσαλημ καινην ειδον καταβαινουσαν εκ του ουρανου απο του θεου, ητοιμασμενην ως νυμφην κεκοσμημενην τω ανδρι αυτης.

3And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, 'Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

και ηκουσα φωνης μεγαλης εκ του ουρανου λεγουσης· ιδου η σκηνη του θεου μετα των ανθρωπων, και σκηνωσει μετ αυτων, και αυτοι λαος αυτου εσονται, και αυτος ο θεος μετ αυτων εσται,

4And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.'

και εξαλειψει [απ αυτων] ο θεος παν δακρυον απο των οφθαλμων αυτων, και ο θανατος ουκ εσται ετι, ουτε πενθος ουτε κραυγη ουτε πονος ουκ εσται ετι· οτι τα πρωτα απηλθον.

5Then He who sat on the throne said, 'Behold, I make all things new.' And He said to me, 'Write, for these words are true and faithful.'

και ειπεν ο καθημενος επι τω θρονω· ιδου καινα ποιω παντα. και λεγει [μοι]· γραψον, οτι ουτοι οι λογοι πιστοι και αληθινοι εισιν.

6And He said to me, 'It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.

και ειπεν μοι· γεγονεν. εγω το α και το ω, η αρχη και το τελος. εγω τω διψωντι δωσω εκ της πηγης του υδατος της ζωης δωρεαν.

7He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.

ο νικων, εσται αυτω ταυτα, και εσομαι αυτω θεος και αυτος εσται μοι υιος.

8But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.'

τοις δε δειλοις και απιστοις και εβδελυγμενοις και φονευσιν και πορνοις και φαρμακοις και ειδωλολατραις και πασιν τοις ψευδεσιν το μερος αυτων εν τη λιμνη τη καιομενη εν πυρι και θειω, ο εστιν ο θανατος ο δευτερος.

9Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, 'Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.'

και ηλθεν εις των επτα αγγελων των εχοντων τας επτα φιαλας τας γεμουσας των επτα πληγων των εσχατων, και ελαλησεν μετ εμου λεγων· δευρο δειξω σοι την νυμφην την γυναικα του αρνιου.

10And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

και απηνεγκεν με εν πνευματι επ ορος μεγα και υψηλον, και εδειξεν μοι την πολιν την αγιαν ιερουσαλημ καταβαινουσαν εκ του ουρανου απο του θεου,

11having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.

εχουσαν την δοξαν του θεου· ο φωστηρ αυτης ομοιος λιθω τιμιωτατω, ως λιθω ιασπιδι κρυσταλλιζοντι·

12Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

εχουσα τειχος μεγα και υψηλον, εχουσα πυλωνας δωδεκα, και επι τοις πυλωσιν αγγελους δωδεκα, και ονοματα επιγεγραμμενα, α εστιν [ονοματα] των δωδεκα φυλων των υιων ισραηλ.

13three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.

απ ανατολων πυλωνες τρεις, και απο βορρα πυλωνες τρεις, και απο νοτου πυλωνες τρεις, και απο δυσμων πυλωνες τρεις.

14Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

και το τειχος της πολεως εχον θεμελιους δωδεκα, και επ αυτων δωδεκα ονοματα των δωδεκα αποστολων του αρνιου.

15And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.

και ο λαλων μετ εμου ειχεν μετρον καλαμον χρυσουν, ινα μετρηση την πολιν και τους πυλωνας αυτης και το τειχος αυτης.

16The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal.

και η πολις τετραγωνος κειται, και το μηκος αυτης οσον [και] το πλατος. και εμετρησεν την πολιν [εν] τω καλαμω επι σταδιους δωδεκα χιλιαδων· το μηκος και το πλατος και το υψος αυτης ισα εστιν.

17Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

και εμετρησεν το τειχος αυτης εκατον τεσσαρακοντα τεσσαρων πηχων, μετρον ανθρωπου, ο εστιν αγγελου.

18The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.

και ην η ενδομησις του τειχους αυτης ιασπις, και η πολις χρυσιον καθαρον, ομοιον υαλω καθαρω.

19The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

οι θεμελιοι του τειχους της πολεως παντι λιθω τιμιω κεκοσμημενοι· ο θεμελιος ο πρωτος ιασπις, ο δευτερος σαπφειρος, ο τριτος χαλκηδων, ο τεταρτος σμαραγδος,

20the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

ο πεμπτος σαρδονυξ, ο εκτος σαρδιον, ο εβδομος χρυσολιθος, ο ογδοος βηρυλλος, ο ενατος τοπαζιον, ο δεκατος χρυσοπρασος, ο ενδεκατος υακινθος, ο δωδεκατος αμεθυστος.

21The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

και οι δωδεκα πυλωνες δωδεκα μαργαριται· ανα εις εκαστος των πυλωνων ην εξ ενος μαργαριτου. και η πλατεια της πολεως χρυσιον καθαρον ως υαλος διαυγης.

22But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

και ναον ουκ ειδον εν αυτη· ο γαρ κυριος ο θεος ο παντοκρατωρ ναος αυτης εστιν, και το αρνιον.

23The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.

και η πολις ου χρειαν εχει του ηλιου ουδε της σεληνης ινα φαινωσιν αυτη· η γαρ δοξα του θεου εφωτισεν αυτην, και ο λυχνος αυτης το αρνιον.

24And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.

και περιπατησουσιν τα εθνη δια του φωτος αυτης, και οι βασιλεις της γης φερουσιν την δοξαν και [την] τιμην αυτων εις αυτην,

25Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there).

και οι πυλωνες αυτης ου μη κλεισθωσιν ημερας· νυξ γαρ ουκ εσται εκει·

26And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.

και οισουσιν την δοξαν και την τιμην των εθνων εις αυτην.

27But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

και ου μη εισελθη εις αυτην παν κοινον και [ο] ποιων βδελυγμα και ψευδος, ει μη οι γεγραμμενοι εν τω βιβλιω της ζωης του αρνιου.
